Hallelujah, family. Well listen, it's time for the Word of God and we're going to do something a little different today.

There's a message that's in my spirit. In fact, it's a message that was preached five years ago and as I sought the Lord,

it is so relevant for the season that I believe you're in right now. This message is called Divine Decision Making and it's going to bless your life.

Stay tuned. I'll be right back after the message. If you weren't here Wednesday night, I want to encourage you to watch the message on YouTube.

It was called the Spiritual Sweet Spot. We looked at Solomon and the accountant first Kings chapter three.

We got approaches Solomon at Gibbian and he says to Solomon, ask of me and I will give it to you.

Solomon could have asked for anything. If we were present with that proposition, some of us would have asked for a whole bunch of things too.

But Solomon, for some reason, he has moved to pause, he has moved to take his time and he has moved to reflect upon firstly the one who's making this request of him to his own life.

Three, I guess I'll be five by the time this is done. Three, the history of God and then as he does all of this assessing, he was not quick to answer.

He goes to this process. He's got to listen to that message. He goes to this process and he finally comes down to not asking for riches, not asking for honor, not asking for the heads of his enemies.

But he ultimately says, God, give me a wise and understanding heart so that I might live out ultimately my purpose and my destiny.

All it was incredible.

And as I begin to think about that message even to a deeper place than I did originally, I thought about where he was when God encountered him in such a way because how many of us know geography is everything.

God is so brilliant and intelligent and he is so all knowing and all seeing that everything about what he does in your life, what he does, who is around when he does it and where he does it, all those things are significant.

And so I'm like, we don't solemnize in this place. I'm like, I wonder if there was something about Gibbian, something about God engaging Solomon at Gibbian that somehow brought him into this spiritual place of alignment that allowed him to respond to God appropriately in such a way that it please God and God blessed his socks off literally.

He said, God, give me wisdom and understanding and God gives him, first of all, he makes him the wisest ever. And then because he didn't ask for the other things, he gives him riches and honor.

So this is not just something to read over. This was like a powerful moment where he was perfectly aligned and I believe that his geography helped him to come to the place of responding to God, the way that he responded to God and securing the destiny that God had purpose for him.

And so I wanted to do some research on Gibbian. I'm like, what was it about Gibbian? So I did a little bit of research on Gibbian, a little bit of research on Gibbian.

And I found out that it was actually a place we're going to look at in just a second in Joshua chapter 9, but it was actually a place where in times past the children of Israel made a big mistake.

And so I want us to look at that as we embark upon this brief but necessary message called divine decision making because I can tell you right now that God wants you to be of an excellent spirit.

His guy named Daniel in scripture, you got to study him when you get a chance. One of the things that it says of Daniel was that he was of an excellent spirit. He made right moves.

And I believe that as we can embrace a lifestyle and a paradigm of really seeking God and making the right moves, we're going to see our lives accelerate.
